Having become a member of Exeter City’s academy at the age of 10, Connor Riley-Lowe was converted from a left-sided midfielder to a left-back.

Connor, raised in south Devon, regularly captained the under-18 side during his academy days, with his reliability and understanding of tactical basics being a key reason for this. At the end of his scholarship, he was offered a pro-contract.

The full-back made his professional debut in a Capital One Cup first round tie against AFC Bournemouth in August 2014, replacing Craig Woodman with half an hour remaining.
